The rich black men thing is kind of funny in a way though I must admit. When you think of a rich white guy you imagine caviar, suits, ties, tea, and brandy. When you think of a rich black guy you think of rap, drugs, and assault weapons. (Very broad and stereotypical paragraph meant for humor, but slightly true.)
